That was a misunderstanding, hopefully settled in its own thread.

You cannot speak about name= so generally, there is a big difference
between UI strings and help strings.

I was assuming that we were talking about the Help.

For help its a different matter, there name= is used to generate an index
(happened last time in 2009, so actually quite outdated, have a look at the
tree files in svn)

This rings a bell... what is the index used for? Is it a "Search" index or a "Table of Contents" index? I'm thinking of this, still unclear, issue: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122871

Since it seems I am a minority in here, I will refrain from promoting what
correspond to the sources we actually use.

We just need knowledge, nothing more. So in the UI you say that Danish did not translate the "name" attributes and everything still works. And indeed, since new volunteers are working on the UI first (which I was forgetting), this is enough.

Regina and me clearly had the Help in mind. But now I'm still curious: what happens if one does not translate the "name" attribute in the help? Besides the obvious observation that most languages appear to translate it and to have done so for ages, what exactly would break here?
